On meeting a much esteemed friend
from one of the country towns, he re-
marked, 81 see the TELEGRAPH has
taken sides with Mr.. Simmons in the
controversy with the Supervisors, in
respect to the choice Of county treas
urer." We replied: at is quite as
proper to say Mr.. Simmons has taken
sides with us. Ever since the close of
the war of the rebellion we have uni
formly favored giving Union soldiers
the preference for all offices, either
elective or appOintive, whenever they
possessed the necessary qualifications"

Mr.. Christopher d. Holt, of the town

aught we know, in the state. He is

fifty horses. Mr.. Holt respects the

Some of the members of the Board
Of Supervisors say that unfairness
was done them by the statement in the
TELEGRAPH last week, to the effect
that the approval or disapproval of the
people in respect to their action in the
matter of choosing County Treasurer
will be tested IN the election next
spring. Some of the Supervisors claim
that they had publicly stated before
the late appointment of Treasurer that
they would nos be candidates for the
Office at the next election. If any
member of the Board is put in a wrong
position in what has been said, it was
not intentional.

wide field in the history of county af-

matter in which this paper took an
interest. But if it is to travel from

Ferrops reputation. He is a fairly we'll
read man, and like all workingmen of
to-day good parlamentarian. His nanper Of
speaking Is confident and authoritative though
he offers little that is in idea or especially
happy in expression. When he loses his head
little which any man in labor meeting may be
hardened for, his utterance becomes thick and
his phraseology obscure. His first real promi-
hence was brought about by his advent as del
egate to the Central Labor Union. By the con-
sstitution of that body, the craftsmanship is held
for a week at time by each union or associa-
tion represented there, the Office passing in rota
ton from one class of workmen to another.
when 1t came the turn of the Eccentric Engin-
GERS to name the chairman they put forward
ferrol. The time was ripe for such an event;
selves with doctrines of equal rights for all, and
In their enthusiasm welcomed an opportunity to
attest their sincerity. A much weaker man than
Ferrol might have been boosted into the same
prominence. His associates in the labor move
ment made him the epltome of q principle. and.
because OF his color, he was treated with vastly
more favor and consideration than if he had been
a white man. It will be remembered that he
went to the Richmond convention of Knights as
delegate from District 40, of this city, and that
when the hotels of the Southern city were closed
against Ferrol. all his colleagues deliberately
took up quarters in boarding or private houses
kept by colored people. That kind of petting is
observed constantly at home, and it speaks we'll
for the darkys sensible disposition that he is not
made unbearably conceited by It. He is one of
the dozen men in the ranks Of the labor party
who command the close attention of the dele
gates IN their conventions when he rises to
speak. They undoubtedly believe that he is a
man OF unusual ability, and respect him for it.

The Woman's Christian Temperance Union
Weakening Itself by Political Action.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-It seems that the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union, which
once welded such potent influence on Con-
gress and other legislative bodies few years
ago, has refrigerated in its standing here by
dabbling in politics. For months this organiza
ton has flooded the lower house with petitions
praying for the passage of the Blair educational
bill. Some members have received these signed
by majority of the women in their districts,
and they are impressive ordinarily, as the
women of the country even now control elections
in many places for Congress
"But these petitions are not worth the paper
they are written on" said far Western mem
two dozen members say. There are fifty mem
bers on this floor now, and there will be twice as
many in the Fiftieth Congress, who have felt
the influence of the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union in their elections, and the conse-
quence Is they all opposed to it, and will not
only not pay respect to the requests it makes,
but will do the opposite to that which is asked
Now, | myself, would do nothing to please this
organization, simply because it NEEDLES in poll
tics, when its domain Is in Christian work
Whenever church, temperance other similar
organization NEEDLES with politics it not only

legislatures, but with all statesmen and poll
ticians."

MUNHALL AND TALMAGE.

A Revival Meeting at Which About Two
Hundred Converts Are Made Each Week.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
NEW York. Jan. ga religious revival is
going on immensely in Talmage's Tabernacle.
and members are being made at the rate of 200 a
week. The pastor is not doing the extra work
himself, but has engaged a professional revival
list, L. w. Munhall. A revival meeting in the
Tabernacle is very quiet affair. however. Mr..
Talmage opens the service with prayer, and then
retires to seat at the back of the platform,
leaving the field clear for Mr. Munhall, sturdy,
athletic man in a eajacket who speaks good
English and argues like lawyer. While he is
urging the unregenerate to be saved, Mr.. Tai
mage sits with his legs crossed and his chin upon
his hand looking serious. and as though impa-
tient of his own inactivity in the revival. Occa-
slonal!y a point in the revivalist's argument
seems to strike him. and he busies himself for q
moment with pencil and paper. When Mr.
Munhall prays. the pastors tall, gaunt form
stretches itself out and gets upon its feet against
inside the breast of his coat, and the
other wanders around awkwardly out
side until it finds button
to catch hold Of Repose is not the normal state
OF that quaint face and ungainly figure, and the
attitude is constrained and stiff, like a wooden
Indian AT the end of the prayer Mr.. Talmaee
begins to edge toward the platform steps, and
when the singing begins he furtively slides
down and escapes into his study, where he can
nbend and chat with parishioners. The re-
vival goes on decorously. There is no shouting,
no hysterical confessing Of phenomenal deprav-
ity, no jumps Mr.. Munhall urges the wavering
| to engage in silent prayer and the brethren 60
about quietly inauirng after the spiritual condi-
ton of strangers in the pews. Mr.. Talmage
| comes out from his study with his overcoat col
lar turned up and views the scene, but takes no
| active part in it, except when penitent is led
into the study. Then the famous smile breaks
over the preachers face, and he questions the
work goes without excitement, except of the
mildest form, and before 10 o'clock Mr.. Talmage
| comes out of the study and buttons his over
coat, which is the signal that the meeting is
over, and the people quietly 60 away.

THE BLACKWOOD WIFE-MURDER.
A Life Sentence-Evidence CircumstaEtial-
APrObable Appeal to the Supreme Court.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
BRAZIL Ind, Jan. 29.-The jury in the case
of James Blackwood charged with wifemurder,
this morning returned a verdict of murder in
the first degree, fixing the penalty at life i'm
prisonment The jury had been out seventeen
hours, five of them holding out for hanging
appeal will likely be taken to the Supreme
Court
The trial excited more interest in this COM
munity than any for years past, and review
appears to be called for. The murder was COM
mitted on the night of Nov. Is, the remains of
the murdered woman being found next morning
near the side of the public road leading from
Cardonia to the Blackwood house, and in
the edge of the village. The accused and the
victim had been in Cardonia from 5 to o'clock
that night, and were both drunk when they left
for home. The theory Of the defense is that the
murdered woman fell headlong and forward,
MASKING her nose and mouth and that while
caring for her the accused got blood on his hands
and clothing AS she was unable to proceed,
the two remained there some hours together,
and were thus seen by number of parties, as
| there dance in the village and general
carousal, following payday, was on. At a late
hour his wife still being in a drunken stupor.
and unable or refusing to proceed, Blackwood
about a mile, but sent his two sons,
James and Tom, aged eighteen and fourteen re-
spectively, an hour later to bring her home As
they neared the spot where she law two men
| sprang up from by her side and ran away in op-
| posite directions. When the sons reached their
mother her clothing was disarranged and COW
| cred with blood, and she was grooming in agony.
She told them to go home and care for the little
| children as two men, unknown, had murdered
| her. She was then lying several feet from pool
| of blood, whence she had been carried, and her
| weight was It's pounds. A witness saw man
| by the murdered woman, and heard her groan-
| ing He stopped, but being boy, did not pro-
coed to the spot, but hurried homeward. Going
| a few yards only he met the Blackwood boys
| who, in reaching the spot, found two men there,
| who rose as referred. The woman, them was
| doubtless murdered by men who had outraged
| her. and who desired to remove all evidence by
/ inficting just the wounds they did. The
| perneum was acerated, and the rectum torn
loose and ruptured They then carried her
| from the spot. for she not dragged and the
| accused could not have carried her. Against
| this theory the State offered no evidence, and
| the convection was reached crcumstantial
evidence duplicating others equally with Black
| wood, with the exception of bloody garments.
| The courthouse crowded to its utmost
| capacity to hear the arguments. The defense
| was most ably conducted by Messrs. Holiday
| and Byrd, while the prosecution was notably
| weak. The verdict, therefore, is a surprise.
